Forcing links to open in new window

Normally, when you click a link to another web page, the browser opens the link in the current window.

PPT2HTML can create links that open in a new window instead.

In the [PPT2HTML] section of the PPTools.INI file, add one or both of the following lines:

OpenWebLinksInNewWindow=YES
NewWindowName=AnyNameYouLike

The first line forces each http: link to open in a new window. PPT2HTML creates a name for the window as needed (users never see this name).

The second line forces PPT2HTML to use one additional window (named whatever you type in here) for all http: links. This avoids having lots of different browser windows open at a time.

If you leave out this second line, PPT2HTML has the browser open a new randomly named window for each link. Again, the user never sees this name.

We don't recommend this option other than for very specific uses, since it's liable to create LOTS of browser windows, which may confuse naive users. Or annoy experienced ones.
